Beast
November 16th, 2009 | By Augie De Blieck Jr.
Marian Churchland's retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" is a completely new animal, with beautiful art and an open-ended story.
Phonogram: The Singles Club #5
November 9th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Laura Heaven comes to the realization that she’s not a nice person, and that’s okay.
Sky Pirates of Neo Terra #2
November 4th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
This charming series may be a video game tie-in, but that doesn't make it any less delightful.
The Eternal Conflicts of the Cosmic Warrior #1
October 27th, 2009 | By Augie De Blieck Jr.
It's more of a pilot issue than a complete issue, but there's enough interesting stuff going on to make it worth a read. Plus, Paul Grist's art!
Underground #2
October 25th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The story doesn’t fully work in this issue, but the art is gorgeous and features a double-page spread that will blow you away.
Perhapanauts Halloween Spooktacular #1
October 19th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
DeZago, Rousseau and crew turn out a new "Perhapanauts" issue for the spooky holiday. This story features Halloween more than feels like Halloween, and in this case, that works well. This is a nice treat with limited trickery involved.
Haunt #1
October 4th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Fans of McFarlane will like it, the rest of us not so much.
Existence 2.0 #3
September 29th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
This fast-paced, complex, intricate series comes to an action-packed end.
Underground #1
September 22nd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Steve Lieber and Jeff Parker join forces to tell the tale of Wesley Fischer, a park ranger determined to preserve the integrity of Stillwater Cave.
Sky Pirates of Neo Terra #1
August 23rd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Camilla D'Errico creates a Miyazaki-style world for the characters and it looks great.
Phonogram 2 #4
July 28th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Seth Bingo and Silent Girl invite you to share their microcosm for an evening.
Madman Atomic Comics #16
June 18th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
With two short stories in this penultimate issue, one detailing an obsession with the Atomics and the other Frank Einstein’s possible new career, this is a very good read!
Invincible #63
June 17th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
Superhero comics don't always have to be pretty. This issue is certainly not pretty. Blood, guts, violence, and death.
Phonogram: The Singles Club #3
June 14th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Emily Aster visits an indie club, and the ghosts of her past are waiting there for her.
Rising Stars Compendium
May 24th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
J. Michael Straczynski’s complete story about 113 children with special powers and their lives is collected in one book. It isn’t perfect, but it’s a worthwhile and engaging read.
The Walking Dead #61
May 19th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
"The Walking Dead" is a hard book to both read and recommend. It is uncompromising, and in some ways almost ludicrously uncompromising.
I Kill Giants
May 15th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
A charming/weird/moving/disturbing/fun/sad trade paperback from Joe Kelly and Ken Nimura.
Fusion #1
May 14th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Unique. Singular. Like a snowflake. That's how this story starts out, hoping to fulfill its own prophecy. With some of the most popular characters from Top Cow and Marvel coming together, this story has potential.
Madman Atomic Comics #15
May 2nd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Madman wakes up in a seemingly snow-filled landscape, but doesn’t remember how he got there. And, it turns out, that’s not snow. What’s going on?
Phonogram: The Singles Club #2
May 2nd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Phonogram: The Singles Club" continues with its second spotlight character, in a way that lets you enjoy this comic on its own, or as part of a greater whole.
Dynamo 5 #21
April 23rd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Take two young superheroes and put them on a date. Add one mystery and one drug infestation creeping into the city those heroes work in. Open cover and enjoy results.
Viking #1
April 22nd, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
'Viking' is a bold debut, featuring an accessible story, strong art, and large format.
Godland #27
April 17th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The book so nice they named it twice. Okay, they didn’t, but wouldn’t you buy a book called “Gødland Gødland”? I know I would!
Jersey Gods #3
April 7th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
“Jersey Gods” is finding its groove three issues in as Glen Brunswick and Dan McDaid juggle cosmic war and human annoyances.
Proof #18
March 25th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Proof" follows the adventures of Bigfoot in 1850s London as he trails Spring-Heeled Jack. Believe me, it's even more interesting than that.
Invincible #60
March 19th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Even if the event of this book were just the cover, it would be a success. "Invincible" #60 has a lot of action packed inside that extra-wide cover.
Charlatan Ball #6
March 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
“Charlatan Ball” #6 is rated F for fun and contains extreme goofiness, mild laughs, and a snot joke.
Special Forces #4
March 12th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The battle escalates in Kyle Baker's extreme parody of a war comic.
Johnny Monster #1
March 7th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Johnny Monster" makes his debut with a self-titled three-issue mini. A monster hunter and teen heartthrob (their words, not mine), Johnny is saving us from those nasty monsters. Or is he?
Jersey Gods #2
March 5th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Too much clichéd plot about gods fighting and not enough domestic comedy. A charming, fun read, but with the potential to be a lot better.
Amber Atoms #1
March 2nd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Image drops another new series on us, with the sci-fi infused, self-proclaimed space opera "Amber Atoms." When you tag something "space opera," the bar is set pretty high.
Elephantmen #16
March 1st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Seemingly a decent jumping on point for new readers, "Elephantmen" #16 caught the attention of one reviewer.
Savage Dragon #145
February 26th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
While many of the titles that helped launch the Image fleet have rebooted or simply faded away, "Savage Dragon" marches forward. This issue is a great jumping on point.
Youngblood #8
February 25th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Another Obama cover has Rob Liefeld return to “Youngblood” and the strongest Casey/Donovan issue yet, though it seems to be their last.
Dynamo 5
February 20th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Nearly two years after their debut, "Dynamo 5" offers a jumping on point for new readers. Quick , cheap and extremely accessible, this issue is a great launching pad.
Gødland #26
February 18th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
How does one describe a comic so unique and brilliant, so energetic and full of life? By making up words like cosmitastic, of course!
Berserker
February 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Feel like paying three bucks for eight pages of comic? No? Then don’t buy this comic!
Youngblood #7
February 5th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Uninteresting, dull, boring, humdrum, tedious; take your pick, but they all describe “Youngblood” #7 and I have no idea why.
Jersey Gods #1
February 4th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
“Jersey Gods” #1 doesn’t quite deliver what someone who’s read the solicitations would expect, but the set-up story here is pretty entertaining.
Dragon Prince #4
January 26th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The initial story of "Dragon Prince" from Ron Marz and Lee Moder, wraps with this issue featuring a family reunion rivaling the Skywalkers in "Return of the Jedi."
Elephantmen #14
December 15th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie
'Elephantman' has a new artistic team that doesn't quite fit in with the old style, but Richard Starkings' tale is still worth a read.
Phonogram: The Singles Club #1
December 8th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Penny B takes us dancing, courtesy of Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie.
Charlatan Ball #5
December 4th, 2008 | By Chad Nevett
Another lackluster issue in this magic-based book that has lots of promise, but little follow-through.
Jingle Belle: Santa Claus Vs. Frankenstein
December 3rd, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
"Jingle Belle: Santa Claus Vs. Frankenstein" addresses the increasing drive of society to go politically correct at the expense of tradition and custom. At least so it would seem.
Transhuman #4
November 26th, 2008 | By Chad Nevett
A vicious attack on humanity in a future where technological improvements and implants can’t quite get rid of baser instincts and motivations.
Dragon Prince #3
November 25th, 2008 | By Chad Nevett
A good jumping-on point, “Dragon Prince” #3 is a solid read with few flaws, but also few ambitions.
Dynamo 5 #18
November 24th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
"Dynamo 5" continues on, with the team now comprised not of Captain Dynamo's illegtimate children, but rather a Dynamo 5 of Substitute Heroes. The results don't quite measure up to expectations.
Pax Romana #4
November 19th, 2008 | By Chad Nevett
Jonathan Hickman’s intelligent writing on conceptions of government and the advancement of humanity make for a thought-provoking read matched only by his uniquely beautiful art.
Impaler, Volume 1
November 11th, 2008 | By James Hunt
A vampiric infestation hits New York, and only Vlad the Impaler can help repel the fiends.
Back to Brooklyn #2
November 4th, 2008 | By Chad Nevett
Put this issue back on the shelf with by-the-numbers crime drama with cliche characters, lackluster writing, and stiff art.
